Love you gif

She was diagnosed summer last year with early CKD (SDMA 14) and doing really good up through March of this year (SDMA 17 and 18), when she suddenly needed oral surgery because she was biting her cheek when she ate due to a malocclusion.
We were so hesitant of putting her under anesthesia because of her age and small weight, but we knew she was a fighter and living with pain while eating would be no life at all. So I found her the best vet two hours away in Dallas, an amazing facility with human-standard care. The oral surgery was a success and she was a complete champ, so strong and didn’t let it get her down. She never had pain eating again all spring.
What I wished for while she was under is that she’d get to enjoy at least one more spring on her screened-in porch, her favorite place in the world, and that’s what she got.
We had to say goodbye to Lily on May 31st. On the 30th she came and told her momma something was suddenly wrong, and very different. She would go to her water bowl but not drink, look at her food but not eat. Something I hadn’t seen her do since she was a kitten and needed emergency surgery for a congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
I took her to the ER the same day and then the normal vet when they opened. Her results were not good. Her SDMA was 37, she had the beginnings of systemic issues like fluid on her lungs and an enlarged heart, and her breath was uremic. The week before she was her normal self, and even played with me chasing each other around the house.
When the vet gave the results, I understood what she was saying between the lines, and made the decision that morning to have the vet come out to the house that evening to help us say goodbye to our baby girl.
She had the best possible, most ideal last day, something I’m so grateful for. I gave her gabapentin that morning before taking her to the vet and it never left her system—she was calm up until the very end and relaxed laid out in my lap, not hunched over or uncomfortable. With the fluids and meds the vet gave her that morning she drank half a bowl of water when she got home and was even able to eat her favorite food: people chicken.
Her 7 favorite people spent the whole day adoring her and loving on her. Then around 6 pm on her porch listening to the birds and soaking in the sunbeams, she passed on peacefully with the help of her vet. She was in my lap and I was looking into her eyes when she went.
The perfect ending right? So why am I so angry, and why do I feel so cheated? I question myself about everything. Why did she only get a year after being diagnosed when other cats get a few? Why did her SDMA only go up 4 points in the first 6+ months then more than double in the next 3?
Why didn’t I ask more questions or take more time before saying goodbye instead of making that choice the same day? She could still be here, and I could still be saying goodbye.
She would barely eat kidney food and was already tiny so I had to feed her normal food as well. Did that help kill her or keep her from wasting away even faster? Was her oral surgery something that was too hard for her kidneys to handle? Maybe biting her cheek while eating would have been better than dying three months later if so.
I feel like I failed her, and she’s gone so early because of me. I didn’t do something right that others do right, when their cats get a few more years instead of one.
It’s only been a few days but I miss my best friend so much it’s agony. I see her everywhere and in everything, I even dream about her. It feels like I’ll never be able to move forward and life will never be okay without her here, and I sometimes wish I was just in the ground with her so she wouldn’t have to be alone.
I love you, little girl:

TL;DR: i broke up with my boyfriend 2 months ago, who i think was a narcissist, he completely blocked me on EVERYTHING immediately, I never got closure/ or a “last talk”. Found out through a mutual friend he has a new girlfriend already. It hurts. I feel so lonely. I don’t know what to do. My friends are sick of me talking about it & I already go to therapy.
Sorry this is a bit long. I guess i’m wondering if he was a narcissist, and what I can do to move on.
So I’ve known this guy for years as he was in a relationship with this girl i’ve known since highschool. Last May, we started talking and I was hesitant as i’ve known him & his previous relationship, but decided to give it a shot. We started hanging out every day, and it was moving quite fast. He was complimenting me, genuinely trying to get to know me & coincidentally we had so much in common. Honestly, he said many things that drew me in, one funnily being “communication is so important to me in a relationship”. We had (I thought) similar music taste, he didn’t put me down for any of my interests. He loved how creative and smart I was. I felt really seen and validated.
His birthday was just a week after we first started talking, and that’s when I met his parents & friends. By the 2nd week we made plans to spend a night in a nearby touristy city, and before heading out on the roadtrip, he asked me out. He brought me flowers & handwrote me a card. It was very sweet and special.
We had an AMAZING summer last year. We just clicked. I’ve never liked someone so much. He said he loved me a week after dating, which was a red flag to me at the time but I liked him so much & I knew of what he’s gone through in the past (he claimed he had all his exes cheat on him & they were crazy… lol) so I thought this was different and he really felt it.
We pretty much hangout every day during the summer, he would do everything together. He was so thoughtful, genuinely seemed to care. He met my friends and they all really liked him. He was sweet towards everyone. He made me a playlist, he handwrote me cards every month.
September comes around and I go to Vegas for my birthday. He was extremely upset I decided to go through with the Vegas plans, despite it being planned prior to us dating. He claimed people only go to Vegas to cheat, and there is no reason for me to go (it was my 21st). Also, my entire friend group I went with had boyfriends. I told him I would communicate with him, and tell him where I am at all times. I land at the airport in Vegas, and call him IMMEDIATELY to tell him, and tell him my plan of the day literally hour by hour. He was in an extremely weird mood, clearly upset. He was pretty much like this the entire trip, to the point we fought over the phone at one point. He also told everyone I was in Vegas and cheating!!!??
We worked it out when I got back. Few weeks go by, he told me his “ex situationship” added him on snap the night before (while i was sleeping) and he added her back and they talked. He told me she apologized for cheating on him & how she acted towards him. He accepted her apology & that was that. I was pretty upset as he told me a whole 24hrs later, and i felt like he shouldn’t need an apology or closure when he’s in a new relationship. If anything, I would’ve appreciated him at least saying “hey, I will be talking to this girl, I need closure”. But I told him i was upset he did this behind my back, and he got so mad and upset he told me it had nothing to do with me and he didn’t need to tell me in the first place. He said I should be happy he finally got closure and an apology from at least someone in his life. In order to stop this fight, I had to apologize for getting upset.
I really loved him so I just thought maybe I should let it go. Moving into OctobeNovember, this relationship becomes more and more toxic. He starts prioritizing his friends, barely communicates, even at one point guilt tripping me into having intercourse because we didn’t have it too often at this point as I was stressed with school (which he didn’t seem to care too much about). At the end of November, we had a stupid fight. So stupid - can’t even remember what it was about. He said “don’t talk to me until you figure your shit out”. So we didn’t talk for like a week, because I felt like I always went crawling back to him after each fight and this time he needs to fix it. One night I had a weird feelings, so I checked to see if he was following that ex situationship. He was. I then had a feeling he was at this club with this girl. I called him, his friend picked up and confirmed my suspicions. I was HURT. He always told me he wanted nothing to do with her. I felt so betrayed. We didn’t break up, we had a fight and didn’t talk for a bit. He blocks me that night.
He texts me a few days later saying we can have a last talk but I need to be moving on. I ask him what’s going on with him and that girl, and he said they’re friends nothing else, he doesn’t want to date her AT ALL, and that “at least she could apologize unlike you”. He said he doesn’t want to get back with me again and wants to be single for a bit. At some point, I accept it.
A few days later, the girl messages me. We facetime and she shows me all the text messages between her & him. Essentially, he actually DID want to date her. He said to her (during this one week of us not talking) things like “you’re my soulmate” (he always told me he never believed in soulmates), “i want to marry you”, “i love you”… She decided to message me when he blocked her because she told him she didn’t want to date him, unless they can’t find anyone else within 3 months. And when she said that he sent texts to her saying “why can’t you just give us a chance” “you know i would drop anything to be with you” “i cant see another guy get what I can’t get yet again”. She also showed me that in early October he wished her a happy birthday. She also told me he also handwrote her a card when they were together.
It was devastating. But I decided to text him “cheater”. He replies right away, denying it. Why would he want to be known as the cheater when he was the victim of cheating?? He comes and sees me, and for some reason I take him back again. He told me he only went back to her because he was “vulnerable” and “upset” that we were fighting, and that they have a trauma bond because both of their dads passed away from cancer but that her family is healthy and his is not. But anyways that night was really nice, he was lovebombing me all over again for the next few days.
But He denied that was cheating. He said me and him weren’t together. Not once did he say “we’re done”. To make me happy he would say he did cheat, but then when it was brought up again he would deny it. He also hated it when I brought this up to the point where he would get mad.
Going into the new year and earlier this year, very up and down. Overall, not doing the bare minimum. No communication again, not prioritizing me, honestly invalidating me… he was just a different person. We fought a lot. I got sick of it one day in March and I ended it, with my friends’ help. I was expecting him to care and try to fight for me back, but he let me go. Accused me of cheating one last time (he saw my location, but I was at my friends house). I sent him proof i was at my friend’s house and he ignored it and just told me it was his dads 10 year death anniversary, then blocked me on absolutely everywhere.
My friend found him on dating apps a few days later. I tried reaching out everywhere through different numbers, I tried texting his friends… no response. Nonstop crying from my end, I loved him so much and I just get discarded like this. Did I mean nothing to him? Did 9 months mean nothing? a month later I drop off his stuff, and our pictures, with a handwritten note pretty much apologizing (I know) and asking him to talk to me at least one more time for closure so I can heal. No response. Last Friday, I find out through a coworker that he has a new girlfriend, as he posted her to his story. It hurt, because that was on the 1 year anniversary of us first talking. I was crying and vomiting from the hurt.
I felt much better the next few days for some reason, probably because at this point I realized he was a narcissist (maybe??) and he’s just lovebombing her right now. But then a few days ago, he searched me up on TikTok???? Keep in mind, he told me tiktok is stupid, he deleted his old account, and he hated it when i watched tiktok because my fyp would be full of “men ain’t shit” tiktok’s lol. Anyways, i view his profile and found the new girlfriend’s. She makes a bunch of tiktok’s and seems the complete opposite of me. I found her insta through it and was so tempted to reach out but my friends stopped me as she probably wouldn’t listen, just like how I didn’t listen when the ex situationship hit me up.
So here I am. His birthday was yesterday, which was also really hard as I spent it with him last year. Our one year is also coming up. I try to distract myself, and let myself feel my feelings. But this is so painful. I don’t know what to do. It hurts he could move on like this and it hurts his friends clearly don’t care & think it’s acceptable.
What do you guys think. I know i deserve better but I can’t let go. Honestly, I would probably take him back if he ever came back to me. Just to take the pain away. I love him. I feel SO alone. No one understands me. My friends all have boyfriends and are busy with them, so I can’t hangout with them.

This song is the best song Taylor Swift has written since Marjorie. The lyrics demonstrate Taylor Swift’s mastery of the English language.
In the song my only complaint is when Taylor Swift’s says the lyrics “I wouldn’t marry me either” because I would marry Taylor Swift and be Swift’s spouse in a heartbeat.

You’re Losing Me (From The Vault)
You say, "I don't understand," and I say, "I know you don't"
We thought a cure would come through in time, now, I fear it won't
Remember lookin' at this room, we loved it 'cause of the light
Now, I just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time
[Pre-Chorus]
Do I throw out everything we built or keep it?
I'm getting tired even for a phoenix
Always risin' from the ashes
Mendin' all her gashes
You might just have dealt the final blow
[Chorus]
Stop, you're losin' me
Stop, you're losin' me
Stop, you're losin' me
I can't find a pulse
My heart won't start anymore for you
'Cause you're losin' me
[Verse 2]
Every mornin', I glared at you with storms in my eyes
How can you say that you love someone you can't tell is dyin'?
I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick
My face was gray, but you wouldn't admit that we were sick
​
[Pre-Chorus]
And the air is thick with loss and indecision
I know my pain is such an imposition
Now, you're runnin' down the hallway
And you know what they all say
"You don't know what you got until it's gone"
[Chorus]
Stop, you're losin' me
Stop, you're losin' me
Stop, you're losin' me
I can't find a pulse
My heart won't start anymore for you
'Cause you're losin' me
'Cause you're losin' me
Stop (Stop) 'cause you're losin' me
[Post-Chorus]
My heart won't start anymore
(Stop 'cause you're losin' me)
My heart won't start anymore
(Stop 'cause you're losin' me)
[Bridge]
How long could we be a sad song
'Til we were too far gone to bring back to life?
I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy
And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier
Fighting in only your army, frontlines, don't you ignore me
I'm the best thing at this party (You're losin' me)
And I wouldn't marry me either
A pathological people pleaser
Who only wanted you to see her
And I'm fadin', thinkin'
"Do something, babe, say something" (Say something)
"Lose something, babe, risk something" (You're losin' me)
"Choose something, babe, I got nothing" (I got nothing)
"To believe, unless you're choosin' me"
[Outro]
You're losin' me
Stop (Stop, stop), you're losin' me
Stop (Stop, stop), you're losin' me
I can't find a pulse
My heart won't start anymore

Thank you!!

P99 has been such a fantastic experience over the past few weeks. Recently dove back just like many with a gap of 20 or so years and cruising from Qeynos to EC and Freeport; I've met so many cool people in the past 15 levels. Some very charitable elder 60s and have been just loving logging on every night.
If you see me round Green say what's up!

Hi, I was chatting with the dev and they’re going to release their retro graphic RPG on Mac.
https://www.gog.com/en/game/skald_against_the_black_priory
They even have a demo up. Releasing later this year. Recommend you give it a go, it’s very well made, don’t let the graphics put you off (I personally love the look, retro but still detailed).

As time permits, more regulations come in from centralized powers, and more dirt is cleaned out of the ecosystem every day, what does the future hold for Ethereum and DeFi?

or in other words, what new products will be the Uniswap of the next crypto bull run??
Obviously there is a lot of buzz about different ZK protocols such as ZK Sync that are bringing a new school of thought to the way that ETH scaling will work in the future, but in this post I want to discuss more about the new use cases that will be born out of the DeFi ecosystem.
Last bull run there were multiple shining lights that seem to have solidified their place within the ecosystem. From oracles, such as Chainlink, aggregators like 1Inch, lenders like Aave, and exchanges such as Curve and Uniswap. These protocols all started in the same place: as an idea, and have been built into multi billion dollar behemoths that we all get to enjoy today.
It's this level of prestige and importance that I would love to see out of some new protocols in the future of DeFi. People have different opinions about what these protocols will look like, some thinking that it will be the protocols that bring everyday people en masse to using blockchain, others believe that it's actually the protocols that will best serve the whales in DeFi that already have gargantuan sums of money in their wallets.
Personally, I side with the ladder of this argument. It's been proven by many born and failed startups that trying to get every day people to remember their 12 word seed phrase is an annoyingly difficult task, and even when you do, it turns into a flurry of speculation to only fizzle out into an uninviting downward spiral of negative price action, much like STEPN. It's these exact things that regulators across the world are trying to put a stop to, particularly in America.
Reasons like this lead me to believe that protocols that simply build into the more popular use cases of DeFi such as Sentiment, an undercollateralized lending protocol that has no 'native token' for their users to speculate on, have potential to see consistent growth that could lead them to having a very strong position going forward (as long as there is no catastrophic exploit of course.)
We have been going through some difficult times in the world of blockchain, but many traders, developers, and general enthusiasts are clearly here to stay, and this technology will certainly grow in the future. What does the rest of ethereum think?

Please note: I will take down this listing on Sunday, 6/4, as I will be traveling for 2 weeks. Just wanted to list now in the event it sells this weekend. Will ship on MONDAY, 6/5 if it does sell. Thank you!
Item Details: Another catch and release! I'm still figuring out what compliments my hand, and I keep getting the size ratio wrong. This ring is flawless and absolutely stunning, but I prefer a skinnier oval, so I'm back to the drawing board. This ring is BRAND NEW and only worn for the photos and videos for this post. The Moissanite on this ring is a literal sparkle bomb and dazzles my eyes whenever I look at it. It's set in a 2mm 18K rose gold band with white 18k prongs. I opted for a hidden halo wrap on this ring for a more dramatic effect. Love this little detail! Size 5.75
This would make a beautiful engagement ring!

Condition: BRAND NEW. Ring received 2 weeks ago and only worn for pictures and videos for this listing. Flawless, no scratches.

Reason for selling: Ring is perfect, but proportions are not quite right for me. Also, I'm a size 5.25 but ordered this in a 5.75 for potential summer swelling and it's too big on my finger.

So I just got the news that my scans are all clear and I have just one treatment cycle left to go!
I’m really eager to get a jump start on my hair regrowth and hoping to get any tips. I shaved my head pretty early and my eyebrows and eye lashes are pretty much gone now too. I know it’s going to take time but ugh I just miss my hair.
Thanks in advance! Hope all of you are having a lovely day.

To explain my question more: I understand if it is your first time in a restaurant you start off as a host, busser, or food runner since you have no experience, but after that should be enough for you to become a server since you did your dues.
My situation is I have been working at my current(& first) restaurant for the past 2 years where I started as a host and now i am a to go specialist and the GM sat me down to pretty much tell me she do not see me as a server because i am not loud, don’t follow the script, and don’t connect with customers i guess. I’m supposed to be next in line to be a server, but based on that and other reasons, i applying for jobs that are in and out of the industry, but if I work in another restaurant, i’m going to be serving.
why do all of these serving postings asking for 1-5 years of serving experience when it is a trainable position? i was putting the ‘to go specialist’ on my resume and was getting rejected so i start lying on my resume to say i am a server and got some rejections and some responses. i do the same thing as a server anyways like taking orders, POS system, knowledge of menu, expo, taking payments, etc. it is a server, but just to go, no difference. I guess this is my rant, thank you.
i have done other people jobs without asking, show up everyday and on time, good attitude, my coworkers tell me i’m awesome and they love me, so it is not a me thing per se, idk.

So, I’m real hyped to hopefully see Cal take on the role of a Jedi Master in the next game.
In a sense, Fallen Order was really the story of Cal’s transition from Padawan to Knight. Survivor shows Jedi Knight Cal’s story and the ending clearly has him set up to take on Kata as his Padawan. The next game will likely show that final stage in a Jedi’s journey, being a master and passing down the Jedi teachings.
What I’m hoping we’ll also get is some interesting parallels between the Cal/Kata mentorship and Cere/Trilla. With the latter you had a normal foundation for the mastePadawan relationship, which got thrown into chaos by Order 66 and Cere’s eventual (forced) betrayal of Trilla leading to her becoming an Inquisitor. The former is almost reversed in that at the very beginning they will be dealing with the fact that Cal was forced to kill Bode in front of Kata. Kata appears surprisingly okay with things at the moment, but I’m sure that won’t be the case forever, and it will be interesting to see how the two are able build the trust needed for a MastePadawan relationship when things started in such a way.
I dunno, I’m just really loving getting to see Cal’s journey as well as the whole “cycles” and “learning not to repeat your mistakes or the mistakes of your predecessors” themes that the series is going for.

Just like the title says! Let a college girl take care of your needs. Message me! I’d like to sit on your lap while watching tv. My back would be towards you. We can start off with some dry humping as a love to feel the heat start to grow between us. Then we can move to our underwear. I’m not in any rush and I like to draw things out. I would more like to be a cocksleeve for you while I’m bouncing on your lap occasionally.
You can be daddy or sir, whatever you’d like. I’m also open to other kinks and would return the favor for assisting with this kink.
IM also into breast play, suckling, slapping -anything titty related! We can do this while drinking, watching movies, making out! I can do this for hours lol my nips are soooo sensitive.
5’0, 125. Long hair, petite. Punk n fem. Generally looking for a chill night with drinking and “anything but.” 420 friendly. Professional academic, nerdy, love games! Short, nice tits, and open minded.

Hey!!! I’m a second year M21 Biz-Econ major who’d love to explore Westwood sometime! I recently moved in to an off-campus apartment, and would love to try new cuisines and places!
Reach out if you wanna plan sometime or just talk! I’d be down for anything!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone with a store front would like to share their experience with the different features you can add, more specifically the highlighted store category feature (if you have specific categories of course), all the different types of highlighted listings features or banner feature. Is it something you feel necessary to incorporate to your store front, if yes, which ones do you think add more value to it and if no, why not? Would really love any thoughts or ideas from anyone! Thanks!!

I know people love to point to 2017, 2019, or even 2022 as years that the Yankees had the squad to go all the way, but I’m honestly more impressed by the versatility of this year’s squad and how iconic it would be if they won this year. Look at the rosters from 2017/2019 and you’ll find some real randos who no one remembers in a remotely positive way.
I think this squad has the potential to be elite and iconic for years to come. We have established veterans in Stanton, LeMahieu, Rizzo, Donaldson, and Cole. We have our young group of IKF, Bader, Torres, Volpe, and Cabrera. And of course, our star, Aaron Judge.
While you may point to some of their numbers as being abysmal, the season is still young and this would be a really iconic squad to win it all.
Imagine a WS roster of: 1. Gleyber Torres (2B) 2. Aaron Judge (RF) 3. Anthony Rizzo (1B) 4. DJ LeMahieu/Josh Donaldson (3B) 5. Giancarlo Stanton (DH) 6. Harrison Bader (CF) 7. Isiah Kiner-Falefa (LF) 8. Anthony Volpe (SS) 9. Jose Trevino (C) SP: Gerrit Cole
I know when we lose this place blows up, but I don’t know. I feel confident in our guys and I would be the first one to buy the championship DVD if it happens. We have a great mix of veterans, young guys, and a phenomenal pitching staff to top it off.
I guess I’ll get called delusional because I posted this the day after a loss, not a win, but I’m excited.

My final letter
I will always love you just as I told you months ago. I just can't keep allowing you to watch me, but not be there for me. To read me and not let me read you.
I can't stop the memories or images or feelings, but I can stop focusing so much on it.
If you ever decide, you'll know how to tell me.
All my love
K

Everyday, I pray that everyone believes in Jesus Christ someday and for Salvation for every soul, in Jesus Christ's name. This is to say, to whomever is reading this, I pray for you, your family, and your friends every single day. I pray for you to accept and receive the only thing that really matters, if you haven't already.
I am not naive, I completely accept that this prayer may not pan out for everyone. I love God the same (which is with my everything) regardless of that fact. The truth is, I want it for them more than they want it for themselves, in many situations. I cannot accept the truth for them, just as no one was able to believe in Jesus Christ on my behalf.
The Bible is clear in that there will be a falling out, as my brother in Christ, Joe, explained to me, we are experiencing it now, look around. A vast majority of people will be blind and deaf to receiving the truth. You may ask, well why would God do that? Yeah, I used to question Him, I'm not telling you not too. I am telling you that I don't , or at least I try not too. I give in to Him completely with my everything, accepting He is in control, and that He knows better than me. He is Sovereign, and our willingness or lack thereof doesn't not change that truth.
God states He wants everyone to be saved, so my prayer is in accordance with His will, He doesn't say they will though. This tells me that, if my family and friends are not saved, the blood isn't on God's hands, it is on their own. Should this deter me from trying to spread the Gospel? No, because I don't know who will eventually accept Christ, and furthermore, I can't find a reality where I can give up on anyone. Christ tells me to forgive, so I do. If you have truly forgiven someone, and you love them (we should love everyone, we are all neighbors on earth) then why would I give up on them?
I know there is scripture stating to effectively brush the dust off your sandals and walk away from those unwilling to hear it. I try, for the most part, to not berate strangers with the Gospel after they've heard it from me. You might say, well they already know it, so your first attempt is possibly the hundredth attempt from others having tried. I hear you, but their is a very likely chance that their exposure to the Gospel was a tainted and hateful explanation by a self proclaimed Christian that in no way even tries to walk with Christ. I try and if they don't want to hear it, I proceed with speaking the Gospel through my actions so as to not drive them away.
So how do we live with the possible reality that our spouse, parents, children, extended family, and friends may make the personal choice to never accept Christ Jesus as their Savior? How do we reconcile that they choose hell, a hell that they clearly don't believe exists. How do we reconcile that they effectively are telling us we are a liar when we tell them that Jesus is the Truth, and we want nothing more for them than their Salvation?
We give it all to God. We trust God, with our entire heart, mind and soul, and all of our strength. We pray for them daily. We do not allow it to deter our daily pursuit of living a more Christ like life and sharing the Gospel, but we instead use it as fuel for the fire of the Holy Spirit within. For Him to shine so bright through us that one can't help but say, "I'll have what He is having please." Live in the presence of God every waking moment. Praise and rejoice in Him in everything you do. Allow His joy and peace into your heart. Leave the rest to the Lord. He does not disappoint.
And lastly, I remember that anyone in my life that knew Christ the way I know Him now, watched me for 36 years, and prayed and didn't give up on me either, no matter how discouraging it may have been. That they knew I was blinded to the truth, tricked by the adversary, and they tried to not take offense to me denying what they were telling me was true. They trusted God, and knew it would be on His time, not their own, if it were to happen. And even with the notion that it may never happen for me, they persisted with an abundance of grace as only found through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, our Lord and Savior, and an undying faith everlasting out of love for Him.
